Carrying the Harbour Air fleet number "312", but still wearing the colours of North Pacific Seaplanes from its time flying from Prince Rupert BC. Approaching for landing over the city of Victoria itself and having had to maintain height according, the Inner Harbour has now been reached, which permits a steep dive over water towards the landing point in the Outer Harbour, with a subsequent water taxi back to the scheduled services seaplane docks which it is now passing. Repainted into standard Harbour Air colours the following year.

Carrying fleet number "315", making its way out of Victoria's Inner Harbour towards the Outer Harbour for take off on another Harbour Air scheduled service.

This late production Otter was delivered to the Tanzanian AF as JW9109 aboard an RCAF C-130 in 1967 and sold back to Canada in 1972. It joined Wings in 1993 and in 2004 underwent turbo conversion by Texas Turbine. Unlike the Harbour Air Otters converted by Vazar using the ubiquitous PT6A turboprop, the five Wings birds are TPE331 powered. Taken from cruise liner Celebrity Eclipse.

First delivered to the US Army's Arctic Test Center at Fort Greely, AK as U-1A 58-1720 in 1959, this Otter was civilianised as N41755 in 1974 and converted by Aeroflite to Vazar turbine standard at Vancouver for Harbour Air over winter 2005/06.

Another subdivision of Harbour Air is Saltspring Air, specialising in serving Salt Spring Island, BC and the other Gal Islands in BC. This Otter is notable in that it has maintained the same registration ever since first being delivered to McMurray Air Service, Uranium City, SK in 1959.

The Whistler Air division of Harbour Air provides services to Whistler, BC and sightseeing over the Coastal Mountains, Garibaldi Provincial Park and Pemberton Ice Cap. First delivered to the US Army as U-1A 59-2224 in 1960, it was badly damaged on take off in Vietnam in 1969. In 1973 the wreck was sold for a mere $272, being rebuilt and sold to Kodiak Western Airlines. In 1986 it met with another serious accident while operated by Bering Air in Alaska. Rebuild and turbine conversion didn't happen till 1999, when it joined Whistler. Winter 2002/03 even saw a period of operations in Antarctica.

Enjoyed a great sightseeing ride on this Otter the day before the photo. It was first delivered to the RCAF in 1960 as 9402 and was eventually turbine-modified at Harbour Air's Vancouver airport facility over winter 2002/03, at which time their standard panoramic window conversion was also carried out. Between the yellow-trimmed Harbour Air scheme applied at that time and the current blue/yellow livery, it operated for a period in special Royal Roads University colours.

First delivered to the US Army as U-1A 55-3273 in 1956, this Otter saw service in Vietnam before being rebuilt in Canada as CF-BEU. After service with a range of Canadian operators, it became N81FW on floats with Fresh Water Adventures in 2005 before acquisition by Harbour Air in 2006. That winter they converted it to Vazar DHC-3T standards at Vancouver airport and it joined their growing fleet in 2007 as C-FHAD, initially in the then-current yellow colours but without titles, which weren't added till 2010.

Backed by Queen Elizabeth, C-FHAJ began life in 1961 on delivery to the Union of Burma Air Force as UB-657 as one of nine shipped to Burma in crates. Six were repatriated to Canada in 1989 and this one was purchased by the Aros Parachute Club of Sweden after conversion to Vazar turbine, becoming SE-KOX. Next registered N406H to Wipaire in 2005, it joined Harbour Air next year as floatplane C-FHAH in their yellow-trimmed colour scheme. In 2007 it became 9H-AFA with Harbour Air (Malta) to operate between Valetta and Gozo, then shipped home by sea to rejoin the main fleet in 2012, now as C-FHAJ

Resplendent in special national colours, this is the oldest Otter still flying. As the third DHC-3 to come of the line in 1952, it was delivered in December to Arthur Fecteau, a veteran French Canadian bush pilot based in Senneterre, Québec. After eventually passing to Harbour Air, it entered their Vancouver airport facility in 2000 for turbine conversion, and despite its grand old age, with its modern avionics and power-plant it is one of the best equipped Otters still flying.

Carrying fleet number "310" and displaying Harbour Air's environmental credentials, "Offsetters" and "Fly Carbon Neutral", departing the scheduled service docks in Victoria's Inner Harbour. It was the first of the Vazar P&W turbine conversions, in 1995.

After having landed in the mouth of the Campbell River, proceeding carefully round the corner of Tyee Spit to its Vancouver Island Air base at the far end of the line of sheltered docks. The Vazar turbine conversion was carried out by previous owners over the winter of 2005/2006.

Carrying Harbour Air fleet number "318", heading for Victoria's Outer Harbour and take off. Passing the manoeuvring MV "Coho", which operates the Black Ball Line's ferry service linking Victoria, BC with Port Angeles, WA.
